Question: Am I still depressed.? I am on lexapro 10mg now. Been on it for three months..?
A friend came by today and I didn't answer the door. I just did not want to talk.
The phone rings from another friend and I don't answer it.
It takes me all day to get in the shower.
It also takes me all day to get three chores done.
I don't feel sad but I do these things alot.
But sometimes I almost feel suicidle and just want to think about dying and death and wallow in my misery. These kind of days are 2 to 3 times a week,

Wow, I take Lexapro too, and feel it's given me my life back.
You need to talk to your psychiatrist and either bump up the dose another 10mg,( I am on 20mg at night), or be perscribed and add on med, such as Ambilify, or Serquel. Don't get scared if you look them up they are called antipsychoticss, and used for Bi polar andschizophreniaa, but often as an add on fordepressionn, and also for anxiety and sleeping problems. I take Seroquel and think it's great, never slept better!Health Question & Answer
